Fabric softener compositions

Stabilized fabric softening compositions comprising a fabric softening

The present invention relates to liquid, rinse added fabric softening compositions including a dispersible polyethylene and methods for their use. The fabric softeners of the present invention include a fabric softening compound or amine precursor thereof and a dispersible polyolefin. Preferably, the dispersible polyolefin is an emulsion and the polyolefin is polyethylene and, more preferably, a modified or oxidized polyethylene. A liquid carrier and optional dispersibility modifier are also included. The quaternary ammonium fabric softener is preferably cationic and biodegradable.

Fabric care compositions including dispersible polyolefin and method for

Laundry additive compositions and methods for their use are provided. The compositions include a dispersible polyolefin, preferably polyethylene, and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of dye fixative agents, chelating agents, dye transfer inhibiting agents, chlorine scavenging agents, free radical scavenging agents, cellulase enzymes and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the composition is a liquid composition added to the rinse cycle of a consumer laundry process or to a pre-treatment cycle before a wash cycle of a consumer laundry process.

Laundry additive compositions including dispersible polyolefin

Laundry compositions, specifically fabric-conditioning compositions, to be used in the rinse cycle of laundry washing processes, are disclosed in order to improve color depth maintenance of colored fabrics upon single or multiple washing cycles. To achieve this, specific levels of cellulase and dye-fixing agents of the cationic type as well are used in the laundry compositions.

Laundry composition containing dye fixatives and cellulase

The present invention relates to aqueous fabric conditioning compositions containing a quaternary ammonium compound and/or amine precursor thereof of the formulae (I) or (II) herein, and a cellulase, said compositions having a neat pH at 20.degree. C., of from about 2.0 to about 4.5.

Fabric conditioning compositions

Fabric softening compositions comprising fabric softening active(s) and a cellulase formulated so as to provide limited lower levels of cellulase activity, below about 50 CEVU's per liter of rinse solution, during use conditions of addition to the rinse cycle of machine laundry washing processes. Also a process for machine treatment of fabric, especially cotton fabrics, said process comprising treating fabric during the rinse cycle of a machine washing process with one or more cationic and/or nonionic fabric softening agents and cellulase at a level below about 50 CEVU's per liter of rinse solution.

Cellulase fabric-conditioning compositions

Compositions are disclosed containing fabric softener compound having two hydrophobic groups attached to the remainder of the compound through ester linkages (DEQA), said compositions being concentrated and containing viscosity/dispersibility modifiers which are single long chain cationic surfactants, highly ethoxylated nonionic surfactants and/or mixtures thereof. Premixes of the DEQA and viscosity modifiers to lower the viscosity of the molten DEQA are disclosed. Processes for making aqueous liquid compositions from solid particulate compositions containing the DEQA are also disclosed.
